CD Digipacks were one of the first development moves into eco packaging for the format and are still a market leader decades on. Compact Discs themselves are made from polycarbonate and are therefore not the least impacting product in our world. When Jewel Cases were recognised as adding to a negative environmental impact as the 80's morphed into the more world conscientious 90s, Digipacks arrived as a solution to cut down plastic and maximise artwork options.
The format reduced plastic components in the product to a single glued in tray to hold the disc and the CD itself utilising printed cardboard wrapping over or around for protection. Using a fold over template for strength in double walling, each panel provides enough structure for shrink wrapping or cello wrapping and enough protection for the disc/s inside. Some believe the format was inspired by the 1985 CD release of "Around the World in a Day" by Prince which was believed to have been designed to be deliberately plastic-less to harmonise more with its vinyl LP counterpart. The release bares a lot of similarities to our Digifile Range, utilising a slot between the glued leaves. See our Remus Spine CD packaging or vinyl imitation CDs for vinyl record inspired CD packaging.
Our CDs in Digipacks are available in either 4 panel or 6 panel versions with options for booklets. Our Digipacks are printed, die cut and glued on site along with automatic tray placing for the highest quality available. We have an extensive range of options so if you can't see what you need here just get in touch and we will be able to help and advice.
